			<description><![CDATA[
This new publication shows that young people are sensitive and thoughtful and more then willing to contribute to change in their societies. It proves that the common complaint that young people are not interested in politics, is mainly a result of insufficient understanding of the world of youngsters. Digital Natives - youths thriving on digital technologies - are sensitive and thoughtful; it is time to listen to them.

			<description><![CDATA[

The growth of Internet usage in the Middle East and North Africa is among the world’s
fastest: between 2000 and 2007 usage increased almost 500 percent, more than twice
the rate of increase in the rest of the world. Just as elsewhere, this has led to Middle
Eastern cyber-optimism - among the users of digital tools and Internet watchers alike.
It is a widely-held hope that the coming of Web 2.0 can move closed societies towarddemocratic values and governance.

			<description><![CDATA[
What is the role of the new media in this context of bought criticism? Hopes that increased globalization and advanced media technology bring about political liberalization have all but vanished. We now know that authoritarian regimes are more resilient and that economic liberalization and technological modernization are not necessarily coupled with democratic reform. The new media, especially the Internet, blogs and Twitter, have indeed created a counter public, a space where state hegemony is challenged.

			<description><![CDATA[
The Berkman institute research focuses on the methods, uses and tools of the circumvention landscape. Their report shows that most circumvention tools functioned as they intended. However, the Berkman institute discovered that all tools slow down access to the Internet, that most tools featured serious security holes, and that some tools were extremely difficult for a novice Internet user to use.
